Russ Strodtz posted on the former Rail Freight Yahoo group several days of Q interchange at Congress Park from 1959 based on conductor switch lists he had.

There is a quite the volume of daily traffic. I consolidated and cleaned up what Russ posted into the attached files.

RE:Q-CNW direct interchange at Wood St.

I can’t answer for the 1968 time frame  but do have earlier info.I’ll share.

I’ve been working on an article for the BRHS Bulletin entitled “Operations  at Congress Park” on and off for the past year. As part of the research I’ve contacted individuals who I know and who worked at Congress Park. Among those, Steve Holding shared summaries of interchange correspondence he saved from the dumpsters at house 9 and elsewhere. I don’t want to give away too much detail(sound familiar ?). I will say the volumes of cars interchanged at Congress Park are mind boggling.

What I am willing to share is that in 1961 Q mgmt. became aware that certain other western carriers began direct interchanges with certain eastern carriers on perishable traffic. The impetus was to save the intermediate charge via BRC,IHB or IN. Q mgmt contacted numerous carriers trying to make direct interchanges work. The analysis is interesting to read( some of it will be in the future article).
